Tila Tequila gets nakey and rants about ex-boyfriend Shawne Merriman on her live Ustream page. [NY Daily News]—Let’s hope she just had too much tequila and not a full-on meltdown.

Lady Gaga, four years ago performing at NYU under her birth name and in her bare feet, stuns the judges with talent. They loved how she can “blow, sing, and tickle the keys.” [NYU Local]—Love it.

Even before she was blond, Lady Gaga was causing a sensation on MTV. Wanna find out what sets her off? Check out this clip from “Boiling Point” that features pre-Gaga lip service articulated with bonus side ponytail!
I tried to hate on this video, but I can’t! It’s just hot! At first I was like, yo, B, can you do something other than stand in front of a camera and gyrate like there’s no tomorrow? And, hey, Lady Gaga, can you just, like, disappear off my laptop screen for a moment? But then the beat got to me, and I fell under the spell of Beyonce and Lady Gaga‘s “Video Phone,” directed by Hype Williams, who makes great everything he lenses. It’s part “Reservoir Dogs,” part Bettie Page, and there’s some brandishing of weapons. What do you think: love it or leave it?

It ain’t no thang to spot Lady Gaga wearing crazy headgear or anything, but the one she wore at the 30th Anniversary Gala of MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) was notable for being designed by none other than uber-architect Frank Gehry. Now that’s an interesting fashion collaboration. [L.A., 11/14/09]
“Telephone,” the Lady Gaga and Beyonce duet off Gaga’s Fame Monster album, has hit the internet. [YouTube]—I really like it, but it sounds more like Beyonce’s song than Gaga’s.

French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld is my mom’s age. So why in God’s name is she going pantsless in lace tights and hooker boots, forcing us to be sick all over the place? I don’t care what people say about age being just a number, 55 is far too high a number for this Lady Gaga-esque behavior. In an effort to come to terms with a former icon’s decline, we’ve constructed a highly scientific chart tracing the progress of pantslessness through the last four decades. It won’t be easy, but taking the journey from ‘70s roller girls all the way up to Carine is cathartic somehow.
In her latest video, “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga prances around, actin’ a fool, in a bunch of weird outfits. In other words, same stuff, different song. Fashion-wise, the Lady and her dancers are costumed as synthetic white asparagus stems, her nails are encased in mesh cages, and her key accessory is a hairless cat. That she can do that dancing in those 10-inch Alexander McQueen heelsis impressive.
Lady Gaga parades her way through the December issue of Vogue magazine in a bizarre reenactment of Hansel and Gretel costarring Lily Cole and Andrew Garfield that was shot by Annie Leibovitz. “I’ve always been an outspoken and extreme dresser,” Miss Gaga confesses. You don’t say? At one point, Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington reveals, she-who-wears-no-pants showed up on set “stark naked except for her white rubber raincoat and some very, very high heels.” It’s only a matter of time, one supposes, before the Lady forsakes clothes altogether, no? The full “Lady Gaga Does Hansel and Gretel” images after the jump.
Lady Gaga, you have arrived. Like Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” Gaga’s “Poker Face” has become so wildly popular that even Christopher Walken has jumped on board covering it. This tribute does make us feel slightly uncomfortable and we hope Walken sticks to acting. But admit it, when Gaga busts out this song in the club, you can’t help but dance. After the jump, a few more amazing odes.
You can’t deny that Lady Gaga certainly has her own interesting fashion sense. But now, on top of her latest antics (like selling a piece of her hair to fans), she’s taking on the style of Hello Kitty. Eh, somehow we’re not surprised. It’s all for the character’s 35th birthday, yet the pictures by Markus Klinko and Indrani will appear on the cover of her special, limited-edition reissue album. You can also catch them in Los Angeles, on display at the Three Apples birthday exhibition. Maybe the precious Sanrio kitty will make an appearance during her tour? [Daily Mail]
Tired of walking past buildings when you’d rather wear one? Joshua DeMonte steals architectural elements to create totally out-there accessories. A banister winds around a wrist. A staircase adorns a neck. A curtain-billowing window becomes a bracelet. Surely not for the fashionably shy, one imagines how long it’ll be before we see Lady Gaga wearing one of these creations.

Oh Lady! Gaga looked like she was still in a Halloween state of mind at the Accessories Council’s ACE Awards yesterday evening, where she was presented with a Stylemaker award for her “genius” use of extraneous ornamentation. Sadly, wigs were harmed in the making of this headpiece. [NYC, 11/2/09]
Was your neighborhood overrun with Lady Gaga impersonators this Halloween? For all those crazy fans out there, the wig-wearing diva is giving up a strand of her real hair to make their dreams come true. She’s selling a deluxe box set—complete with the book of Gaga, “The Fame” album, eight new songs, 3D glasses, and to top it all off, a lock of her hair. The price tag on this Gaga-licious item is $114.98. No word on where the money is going, but we’re pretty sure it’ll be added to the funds for her crazy costumes. We say this is way creepy. It was weird enough when Elvis sold his hair, but oh wait, he was dead already and he is also the King. Thoughts? [Mirror]
Alright, I know I’m a little late to the party on this one, but this quick little snippet from “South Park” kept cracking me up during my post-Halloween hangover on Sunday. Cartman meets Lady Gaga, a match made in ... God knows where.
Here’s one we didn’t see coming. Miss I-Laugh-In-The-Face-Of-Fashion herself, Lady Gaga, is getting a style award. The Accessories Council Excellence Awards will present the pop star with the “Stylemaker Award,” to be presented by Marc Jacobs. OK, in a way we get it: Lady Gaga has shown us outfits we’ve never seen before (or even thought possible) and merits some credibility for the creativity. On the other hand, does she really deserve an award? Here, a look at some of Gaga’s outfits which either convince us she’s indeed a tastemaker or a tastefaker. [Elle UK]

It’s no wonder Lady Gaga has reportedly gone bankrupt four times because quite a bit goes into her extravagant everyday looks. Homegirl loves her crazier-the-better accessories! After the jump we’ve got the deets for how to get the perfect Lady Gaga costume with things possibly in your closet already and items you could totally wear again (either with more clothing or while role-playing).
Yesterday was the Marriage Equality March in Washington, D.C. as gay rights activists came out in droves to demand the right to get legally married in the United States. Many celebs were on hand, including Lady Gaga, who gave the speech above. Props for the Judy Garland joke, G! [Los Angeles Times]
In other gay rights news, at a human rights dinner this weekend, President Obama vowed to end “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the 16-year-old policy which bans gays from serving in the military if they are openly gay. About. Effing. Time. [Wall Street Journal]
If you saw “Saturday Night Live” last week, you know that Madonna and Lady Gaga had a fake makeout sesh. But on Sunday night, the two pop stars had a real life dance-off at a New York City club! The DJ, Jus Ske, started alternating “Holiday” and “Poker Face” while the ladies got down on the dance floor. An onlooker said, “Madonna seemed to be the winner. People were going wild.” No kidding Madonna won. Lady Gaga only has one dance move and it’s creepy. If only someone had a camera phone video! [NY Post]
Thankfully, plenty of other celebrity dance-offs have been recorded and are actually pretty hilarious!
